I wrote a short blog post about a tip I read to help with dry skin. Of course, tepid to cold water is always helpful because hot water is so drying, but you can also use a little cloth sack with rolled oats in it as your body soap in the shower!

Homemade shampoo?? Interesting! Definitely something that I'd like to try.
